This essay explores Willa Cather’s impulse to debunk the frontier myth in her novels after 1922, especially in A Lost Lady in particular. In the novel, Cather offers an ironic perspective to the frontier myth which is rooted in romantic idealism upheld by Herbert Niel, the central consciousness of the novel. In this novel, Cather invites the reader to question the validity of the operating assumption of the frontier myth by subtly shaking the grounds of Niel’s idealization of the noble past of the pioneers which he believes to be embodied in the life of Captain Deniel Forrester. To expose Niel’s limitations as an exponent of the frontier myth, Cather utilizes three basic components of the narrative: exposition, narration, and description. In A Lost Lady, Ivy Peters, who is portrayed as an antithetical figure to Captain Forrester, turns out to be repeating what the captain might have done in the past as a pioneer. Like the pioneers of the past, he is “aggressive, brutal and materialist” in exploiting nature and Indian lands, which is the opposite of what the frontier myth claims. This essay concludes that Marian is a new type of pioneer who reconciles the gap between the frontier myth and the frontier history.
